Colour Of Scratchplate

[stewblack]

What colour do you prefer with a red p bass? If not white... 

[grandad]

My preference would be pearl white. I have this combination on a fiesta red Squire Mustang and I think it's a good match.

If it has a maple neck and it’s bright red then anodised gold. Don’t know why fender stopped making aluminium ones, much nicer than plastic. Good gob g&l did them for a while but again they stopped too?!

Well, seeing as you've made the mistake of getting a bass that isn't black your only option is a black scratchplate.

A nod in the right direction at least

What can I say? I have a weakness for red basses. And black basses 

 

Quite like sunburst too. 

 

And blue. 

 

 

 

Salmon pink. 

 

 

 

 

 

Gold is a favourite too

What kind of red, bright, dark?

Brown tortoise shell or black would be my preference. 😄

Not sure the technical name but it's kind of sonic red

[Deedee]

Black everytime for me. Unless it's a blue sparkle P, then it's chrome 😎

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

Aged white pearl or Black on a bright red such as candy apple red or darker transparent red. For a slightly lighter or more muted red like fiesta red, aged white pearl or solid off-white.

I thought sonic was blue!

Hmmm....come to Pooky*

*with a J-neck, of course and a BadAss bridge.

Yeah, anodized gold plate is the only option.

Both are lovely, but, but... those horrid anemic fingerboards! Whatever happened to make them turn yellow? 

🤢🤮

Is this heresy?

It's almost made me unsub

[bartelby]

A real chrome plate would be ok. But those thick plastic mirror jobs look wrong.

[PatrickJ]

Mm, mint green maybe?

[FinnDave]

Best colour for a bass made of wood is no colour, just natural wood. Obviously!

Love the colour of the red, and a proper dark fretboard too, just needs a black pickguard and its perfect.

[stewblack]

This is looking like the winner 

[stewblack]

Although..
